Chapter 4

I didn't live far from the school, but I took the bus anyway. I was not
about to walk home in the 110 degree summer heat in Arizona. The bus was
pretty empty when I got there since I usually walk ahead of the crowd. I
like being alone. Sometimes my friends wore me out. The bus crowd started
roaming in on their own and soon the bus was full, except for one seat next
to me. "Yes. I get my own seat. I guess putting my backpack there
helps. The crowd is dwindling and I still have an open seat next to me."
The buses honked their horns, signaling their leave. I saw a boy running to
the buses. "Please don't let him get on this bus. Please don't let him get
on this bus."  I closed my eyes and I heard the bus door open. "Shit".  I
looked up and I see Ben. One seat left on the bus and it's next to me. I
placed my bag onto the floor to open up room as he got near the seat and
the bus started moving even though Ben was still walking. Apparently the
lurch forward caught Ben by surprise because the next thing I realized was
that Ben was falling onto me. I blinked and he was on me. He quickly got
up, wishing to avoid anything awkward.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I mean it just sort of
happened" Ben murmured.

"Chill dude. It's fine. It's not your fault. It's the bus driver's
fault. He moved before you were ready," I tried to reassure him, choosing
my words carefully. My mind was racing. "Did he actually just fall on me?
Did we actually get that close?" I turned my shoulder and started looking
out the window. "It doesn't matter. I'm not gay."

Some time passed until he finally uttered, "You're in my biology class
right?"

I thought he was talking to someone else, but then I looked over and he was
looking right at me. "Um yeah. I think so. English too." I managed to
craft.

"Well cool. I'm Ben," he stated as he extended his hand, offering a hand
shake.

"I'm Ty. Nice to meet you." We didn't say much for the rest of the bus
ride. I was one of the last stops on the bus. Even though I lived less than
a mile from the school, they insisted on taking a longer route to drop kids
off. Little by little all of the kids get off until it is just Ben and me
alone on the bus. Despite the variety of open seats, he didn't move from my
seat. I started thinking about everything that happened today until I was
interrupted mid thought by the bus driver.

"Alright boys. Here is your stop," the bus driver hollered to the back of
the bus.

"Us? Ben lives by me?" I thought to myself. Ben had already stood up to get
his bag and started walking down the center aisle.

"Thank you," Ben stated to the bus driver as he walked out.

"Thanks," I mumbled as I walked out of the bus. My mind was too preoccupied
to care how rude I was. I took the last few steps out of the bus and I see
that Ben was waiting for me. I ignored him at first and started walking
towards my house. Ben trailed me. I had to walk about two blocks to my
house, but I didn't care. I just walked and thought. Soon I turned my
attention to Ben. I thought about what I should say to him and I finally
stated, "So. Are you just going to follow me, or are you going to say
something?"

Ben stayed quiet for a few minutes until he finally peeped out a simple,
"Something."

I couldn't help but laugh inside. We kept walking until we were in front of
the driveway to my house. "Well, see you tomorrow dude," I stated casually.

"Hey, um, hold on," Ben commanded.
